Want a new Zach Braff movie? Pay for it!

The movie will also star Jim Parsons (who was also in Garden State), and they both appear in the welcome video:

Ugh, he must make enough money from the endless airings of "Scrubs" - why can't he just finance it on his own?

"Wish I Was Here" is the story of Aidan Bloom (played by me), a struggling actor, father and husband, who at 35 is still trying to find his identity; a purpose for his life. He and his wife are barely getting by financially and Aidan passes his time by fantasizing about being the great futuristic Space-Knight he'd always dreamed he'd be as a little kid.

God damn that sounds terrible. And what a fucking horrible title. No wonder he has to beg for money from his fans

I liked Garden State. It had a great cast and was a lot of fun.

Brad as become a lot more obnoxious since then. He's hoe from endearing to grating, but if his fans want to help him ake not her movie, good for them.

At this rate he'll probably get it, but it just feels gross to ask people to kick in money for a low-budget movie that he could finance himself (or with Parsons who's on a hit tv show).

I think Rosie taught everyone that you don't pay for these things out of your own pocket.

The two cardinal rules of producing. One: Never put your own money in the show.

And two...

NEVER PUT YOUR OWN MONEY IN THE SHOW!

By indie standards Garden State was a blockbuster. I find it baffling he hasn't been able to get funding for anything since.

We're going to be inundated with these Kickstarter projects now. Instead of paying the cost of a ticket for a movie, you can "invest" considerably more and watch the filmmakers take the profits.

Like him or not, he's going to go way past his $2M goal. You can actually see the pledges rise as you watch the vid.

Not true. On the Veronica MArs Kickstarter, for the cost of a movie ticket and some pocorn, you got a t-shirt, a script AND a copy of the movie.

He is approaching his goal fast. Braff can afford it himself but he turns to his much poorer fans for help? No thanks. Plus, I don't want to see Donald Faison's obnoxiousness in anything.

Still, admit it. It sounds like a great Steve Guttenberg movie from 1988!

It sounds like every POS Peter Pan straight man-child "comedy" Judd Apatow and his ilk ever spawned. Why is this such a moment for hideous, immature straight men? Will it ever end?

Caved. I like Jim Parsons and the last line of the video felt very sincere.

Braff has a nice ass. I saw him a couple of years ago in that play he wrote/starred in which was fucking brilliant. Now I'd love if a movie were made of THAT.

The only thing more pitiful and shameless than begging for money for vanity projects with you're a multimillionaire, is attempting to play 30-somethings when you're well into your 40s.

Zach is so yesterday. Today it's all about the mopey guy from How I Met Your Mother and his shitty man-child movies.

Braff is 38. And he's putting a lot of his own money into it.

The movie sounds lame.

Doesn't it defeat the purpose of Kickstarter when people like David Fincher are using it to finance a movie? I thought it would be more about helping new indie directors.
